Named after former farm owner Grandison Hoe, the neighborhood of Hoes Heights is a quiet suburb in North Baltimore. Historically an African American community, for years the area’s 148-foot Roland Water Tower served as a beacon of safety, welcoming Black residents and providing them with a sense of comfort. Built in 1905, the tower still stands tall and residents of Hoes Heights remain equally hospitable.

Today a diverse and friendly community, the residences of Hoes Heights vary from single-family homes and duplexes to row houses and town houses. You’ll find examples of original 19th-century Victorian stick-style homes, traditional Baltimore row houses complete with redbrick facades and roofed front porches and newly constructed modern town houses. For those looking for alternative options, a variety of one- and two-bedroom apartments are also available.

Students here attend Baltimore City Public Schools, including Medfield Heights Elementary which serves students from prekindergarten through fifth grade. The school features gifted and advanced learning curriculums and a variety of after-school activities, such as chess club, an instrumental music group and a choir.

A walkable neighborhood, residents of Hoes Heights can get where they need within a few blocks. The neighborhood is conveniently located adjacent to Green Spring Tower Square, a shopping plaza that includes a Giant Food grocery store, Chipotle, Dunkin’, Chinese and sushi restaurants, and a Walgreens, among other amenities.

For more dining and entertainment options, neighboring Hampden’s 36th Street, also known as The Avenue, is teeming with locally owned boutiques, restaurants and bars. Check out local favorite Arthouse for brick-oven pizza and funky art vibes, and then pick up a bottle or two from The Wine Source. A neighborhood staple, The Wine Source features an extensive selection of fine wine, beer, spirits and specialty foods that’s hard to beat.
